How the crap is one supposed to get this enchant when the guardian stones don't even drop anymore? lol

Comment by querto

~18.9% drop rate on those

Comment by wozhy

This was changed in patch 2.1 to calculate the level from at least level 34.

Those interested in twinking beware.

*Dodge Rating: Low level players now calculate dodge from dodge rating at the same rate as level 34 players.*

Even at level 70 this is a nice enchant for a tanking cloak. Make your choice between this and 12 agility. This will give you more dodge % than the agility, but the agi will also help your crit chance and to a lesser extent your armor.

Still, this can be a bit of an expensive enchant if you buy the mats on the AH. If you can disenchant, or know someone who can, farm the Large Brilliant Shards from Scholomance/Stratholme.

This item was introduced in patch 2.2, as an upgrade to match lvl 70 items. Also notice that this enchant (unlikely a lot of enchants) does not require item lvl 35.

So how much dodge does this grant at level 70?

It's about 0.63%.

When tanking your other option is 120 armor which might be worth slightly more, but doesn't provide anything to reduce crushing blows.

When I say it helps reduce crushing blows, I'm mostly thinking of paladins and druids. Every point of the attack table spread covered by dodge contributes to the 102.4% needed by paladins to completely avoid crushing blows. To do this requires a significant level of gear. For druids, every percent of dodge is that much less chance to be hit by crushing blows. For warriors whose attack table is covered by the Shield Block ability (given a high enough dodge/parry/block/miss total), the value of dodge is in its hit avoidance and preserving Shield Block charges, and less in its ability to "push crushing blows off".

That being said, Druids should never take this enchantment, and should take 12 agility instead. See the page for that enchant for reasons.

Comment by mindbane

dodge chance stays important even after uncrushability since it is full avoidance instead of only partial from blocks

Comment by Vitank

But for warrior you must balance out what you get.

+def on cloak will provide better results as some of that evasion will be block hits.

This enchant was changed to Requires a level 35 or higher item in a previous patch, but i successfuly enchanted this on Sentry cloak ( lvl 19 cloak ) im not sure why it still works but lets just be glad it still does =D

Fenza, Ghostlands (Rogue) =D

Comment by Lusive

This can still be applied to 19 twink gear as of patch 3.2.0 despite saying it requires a lvl 35 or higher item. (successfully applied to an ilvl 24 cape)

Comment by Starline

I picked up this enchant formula yesterday from AQ. It will not let me learn it because i have already learned the one that required lvl 35. If you are looking to get this twink chant, dont waste your time if you already have its sister enchant learned, and do not buy the one from the vendor if you are planning to learn this one. I have a ticket open now to see if they can do anything about this, but at the moment, it looks like you can either have one or the other. I ill post an update when i hear back from the GM.
